Episode 39: Filthy Manny: The Time Lord Who Tried, But Couldn’t

This week we’re joined by our longtime contributor Lance Manion, who, similarly to Amanda, has been watching Doctor Who since the 1970s. So, being most of the way through Peter Capaldi’s first season as The Doctor, we talk about the season so far, what we think works and what doesn’t, and what we individually want from a season of Doctor Who.

Conversely, Lance has very little background in the character of John Constantine. So we revisit the just-aired first episode of Constantine, discuss the key difference between the leaked pilot and the aired episode, and how the show works for fans of the character and people who only know him as the guy who was a jerk to Swamp Thing.

We also discuss:

Deathstroke #1, written and penciled by Tony S. Daniel, and:

Arkham Manor #1, written by Gerry Duggan with art by Shawn Crystal!

And now, the disclaimers:

Normally, we record this show live to tape. However, we had a technical issue this week, which required some sound post-processing and some editing. However, we kept it as close to live as possible to maintain the spontaneity.

This show contains spoilers. While we try to yell out warnings ahead of time, assume that we will spoil any surprises you might hold dear.

This show contains adult, profane language, and is not safe for work. Unless you want to explain to your boss what the “Tuscaloosa Armpit Gank” is, get some headphones.
